Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate the season of renewal than with a bright, happy, and cheerful 12x12 single-page scrapbook layout? This layout is packed with fun, quick, and easy details that add depth, dimension, and charm—all while capturing the joy of a flourishing garden!
I wanted this page to radiate pure happiness, and thanks to CTMH’s “Gnomes For Spring” collection, it does exactly that! From embossed clouds to adorable die-cut flowers, every detail was carefully crafted to bring this memory to life.

Creating the Title: Embossing for Extra Dimension! ✨
One of my favorite details in this layout is the “BLOOM” title. Using the Outlined Alphabet & Numbers Thin Cuts, I cut each letter from a bright green patterned cardstock before running them through my Stripe Embossing Folder. The subtle ridges add just the right amount of detail, making the title stand out without overpowering the page.
🌟 Pro Tip: If you want to take your title to the next level, lightly ink the edges with a coordinating color for extra depth!
Clouds, Flowers & Garden Vibes – Layering for a Lush Spring Look! 🌼
Embossed Clouds & Subtle Rainbow
The dreamy pastel rainbow adds the perfect pop of color, while the embossed clouds add a subtle dimension for a realistic look. ☁️🌈
Floral Frenzy!
The flowers, cut from the Decorative Shapes Thin Cuts, feature intricate perforated detailing. They already look gorgeous on their own, but a little blending and layering? Instant wow-factor! 🌼💖
The Garden Scene
A white picket fence, lush green grass, and layered florals bring the spring garden theme to life. This entire section has depth, thanks to foam adhesives that make everything pop!
Adorable Embellishments
That little polka-dot rain boot? The cutest! And don’t forget the buzzy bee, butterflies, and sweet little bluebird! They add so much whimsy! 🐦🐝
